How to Stream Every Pixar Movie Before ‘Toy Story 4’

Not every Pixar movie is a classic, but you want to watch most of them at least twice. Here's where everything is streaming online.

In the past two decades, animated movies from Pixar have become not just the most beloved movies for families, they’ve taken on a spot in a culture that no one could have seen coming. A new Pixar movie isn’t just expected to be good, our culture now demands that each Pixar movie out-Pixar all other Pixars that have Pixared before. Will the long-awaited Toy Story 4live up to the hype? Considering the giant backlog of excellent Pixar movies that already exist, it hardly matters.

But how can you watch all these Pixar movies before and after Toy Story 4? Where is everything streaming? We’re here to help. Here’s every single Pixar movie ever released, complete with where you can watch those movies online, including all the Toy Stories. To make things easy, the Pixar movies are organized by four groups: The Really Good Ones, The Decent Ones, The Ones You Haven’t Seen, and The Non-Classics.

The Really Good Ones (I.E. Toy Story movies and The Incredibles)

Though Pixar has a reputation for being amazing, not all Pixar movies are as popular as others. Here’s a totally biased grouping of the ones that are really good, and, coincidentally, are probably the most popular among kids.

Toy Story (the original) is officially only streaming for rent on Amazon and iTunes, but some people seem to have uploaded the full versions to YouTube which you can watch, for free, until the links are taken down. Be warned though, these are low quality and we can’t actually recommend you watch the movie this way.

Brave is available to rent on Amazon, iTunes and elsewhere. For those of us with daughters, this one is still awesome, if only because there are still fewer female-leads in these kinds of movies than there should be.

Monsters Inc.is available to rent on Amazon, iTunes and elsewhere. A great one for kids worried about monsters in their closet, under the bed, etc. They’re there, but they’re nice!

The Ones You Haven’t Seen

Monsters University is streaming to rent on Amazon and elsewhere. Some people say you can watch this one before Monster’s Inc. and it makes that movie better.

The Good Dinosauris streaming to rent on YouTube, Amazon and elsewhere. It’s no Land Before Time, but what is, really?

The Non-Classics

Not all Pixar classics are classics at all. Here’s a brief guide to where to watch them anyway. In fairness, Owen Wilson is pretty funny in the Cars movies, they’re just not up to the brilliance of the big ones.
